JAMB 2017 Candidates To Choose Only One Public University During Registration

The Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) has
disclosed that candidates for the 2017 UTME will not
be able to choose two public universities during the
registration.
This was disclosed through the board's twitter handle.
It reads: “candidates can select NCE as their choice up
to three times I.e 1st choice, 2nd choice and 3rd
choice, “But they are not allowed to select two public
universities as choices. If candidates select a public
university as their degree awarding choices, they are
allowed to select a private university as another
choice.”
According to the Mr. Benjamin Head of Information
JAMB, the Board took the restrictions because
candidates hardly get admissions into their second
and third choice universities.
“Yes we restricted the choice to one but candidates
can choose as many colleges or polytechnics,” he said.
“We discovered it was of no use choosing a university
as second choice when in actual sense they can’t even
accommodate their first choices,” the JAMB official
said
